Kraktik, you have a point. But I think I prefer the image of the world as stopping the two, but the hope that there won't be mistakes attached to the one singing.

The "enticed-ed-ed" is a nice touch-ouch-ouch.

Pankaj, it is a toughie. Actually I picked the third verse because I couldn't decide on good words for the first two, which I'm glad to see that you both have attempted.

But what a great song! I've said it before and I'll say it any number of times: I think this one is one of the finest songs ever written anywhere in the world. Imagery without greatly complex words, gorgeous music ...
